Stay in touch with your long-distance friend

We are devastated if our best friends move to a different city. Probably all of us have been through this ordeal some time or the other in their lifetime. You certainly can’t let go of your bond due to distance, can you? You would have to come up with ways in which you are still in touch with your best buddy like you always were.

My best friend and I were together since our childhood days in a public school in Noida. It was like we never needed anyone if we were with each other. Our school days passed as if it was a collection of our countless memories and we were together all the time. At school, after school and on our way to school! We had to discuss everything with each other. Our closeness was often envied by our siblings as we were visibly closer to each other than our own siblings!

All hell broke loose when she was sent to one of the renowned boarding schools in India for higher studies. We were devastated. But as the time of her departure came close we planned to be in touch with each other in a way we don’t miss our time together much.

Talk everyday
Be it over calls or message. We had to be in touch every single day. It is weird because every day you don’t have something special to share, but we found peace in telling each other about our daily routine and I was anyways excited to know about her new school.

Video chat once a week
We made it a point that any one day of the week we would make time to video chat with each other, even if that meant during our exams. We religiously followed that. We did not get that ‘feeling’ of chatting up with each other unless we saw ourselves. She showed her room and introduced her room-mate too over video chat!

Never hide anything
Concealing thing from your best friend can ruin the bond. So we promised we won’t hide anything from each other. We shared every single detail of our lives and we still remain best friends!

Good teachers vs. school facilities

Comparing teachers with schools facilities- sounds absurd- does it? I am not here to make any kind of judgements but many people do decide upon a school for their child solely on the basis of the infrastructural facilities the school provides. They are willing to shell out some extra money to provide the comfort the child is so used to at home. And that is absolutely fine as long as the original and primary purpose of schooling i.e. education doesn’t take a back seat. 

But if I ask you to choose one- a relative unpopular school that just provides the basic facilities but has great and passionate teachers vs a renowned school providing every comfort known to mankind with average teachers- what would you do? From what I have learned in the last few years, I have come to the conclusion that hardships exist to help one forge one’s character and the greatest minds in history were fostered under the care of their great mentors. If we read about the greatest inventors, scientists, doctors, etc., we would realise that the most significant inventions which have become necessities in this day and age, were made under extreme circumstances. I firmly believe that the varied facilities merely exist to facilitate the process of education. I have had the fortune of encountering some of the best teachers, even though I didn’t study in one of the best schools in Noida. And while I did not have a chance to study in air conditioned rooms or with the fastest and latest computers, the quality of education could not have been better. Unlike many others, our teachers actually liked teaching us and their passion was apparent in their conduct.

So, ensuring that your child studies in one of the best child day schools in Noida, or the best school in Delhi is great, but please make sure he/she gets the best of real and holistic education as well. 

Noida is All about the Best Education

Noida is quickly emerging as a perfect place for parents wanting the best of education. The lack of population there has allowed many schools to build large and luxurious buildings which will help a student to achieve an all-around development.

Teeming with schools right now, from day care schools in Noida to certified crèches and also an abundance of regular schools which will see to a students education from 1st grade to 12th grade.
Schools in Noida attract kids and parents from all over Delhi and even if the commute is long they are willing to do it just to get the best education for their kids. Here are a few reasons that these schools are attracting so many people:

1.Large Infrastructure:
The fact that not many people populate Noida at the moment has allowed schools to go all out and build lavish and big buildings that are able to house more equipment and better adapted to be able to allow a student to try their hand at some of the branches that wouldn’t necessarily be available at schools in the more populated areas of Delhi.

2.Teacher-Student Bond:
The fact that few people live in Noida again works to the advantage of the schools as it allows the teachers and students to build a more holistic and well-rounded relationship. Also fewer students can allow the teacher to give more and at the same time equal attention to the students in their classes.

3.Lack of Distractions:
Almost every positive for the rise of schools in Noida can be attributed to the lack of population in the area. So that sort of works in the students favour as it does not let them get distracted by the many distractions of city life.

4.Working Parents equal Day Care Needs:
There are a lot of corporate offices in Noida and especially for young parents this can be very difficult as how to maintain their hectic careers and their child. But the rise of day care schools in Noida has come as a welcome relief to many parents.
